poetry

Author’s note: This is a song inspired by the French rock group Dreadful Hippies. A friend of mine wrote a song named “Blue Velvet” about unhealthy love that leads to violence. My work is called “Pink Velvet”; it is the response of a lovelorn girl who feels unreciprocated affections.

Pink Velvet

If you asked me to describe Paris in one word, I would say it’s a fancy glass of black rum.
